You can meet with me in the Cultural & Equity Center or on Teams!
I received both my Master of Science in Social Work and Master of Art in Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies (2023) and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Psychology and a minor in Women and Gender Studies (2013) from the University of Louisville. I’ve been with the Women’s Center since 2014 which “helped me find that power within myself and I want others on campus to have that experience as well.” I serve as Advisor to the Association of University Women (AAUW) at UofL,UNA-Women at UofL,Women 4 Women Student Board and the Feminist Social Justice Leadership LLC. I am connected to my community through several organizations as it takes community within social justice work for real change to happen.
